If i was super rich and valued my privacy i would cop a farm out in the middle of nowhere or a private island.
Exactly.
Imagine living in New York and having an expectation on not being seen

That's essentially what he did, until the government decided he couldn't have it anymore.If i was super rich and valued my privacy i would cop a farm out in the middle of nowhere or a private island.
"Big Government is cool when it pushes my favored agenda"My opinions align with the state of California.

Are you a Libertarian or Republican?
The hammer is being brought down and all of California is being forced to build affordable housing - every county and city and town. Idk if this is in the news, but it’s being talked about amongst housing authorities and county supervisors. If Atherton doesn’t build, other rich,With that said....I am generally not on the side of using "oh the neighborhood" concerns of rich people to dictate housing stock....
Caving in to wealth to dictate public policy is a dangerous and foolhardy strategy
But I dont think that was the case here because I sure as hell dont think affordable housing was what this developer was trying to build despite what it is being claimed....
Nobody is developing that given the land costs alone, the zoning permits fo what would be allowed, construction nd labor costs etc...
Somebody gonna have to show me PROOF lol
This is the average house in Atherton. They don't want density in their area. If I could afford this, I wouldn't want a multi unit building near me either.

type communities will use it as a reason they don’t want to build. That can’t stand.
Might have been $1m townhomes or condos but a few would have been earmarked for “low income” by county standards. Or they could have been planning to make them BMRs (below market rate). Depending on county standards (like how much a section 8 voucher is for or income limits) you CAN buy more expensive property bc the money is guaranteed. They don’t tell black people that bc they don’t want us coming up on that shyt.
Low income by county standars might be a gyno and a heart surgeon making a combined 600k tryna live with people who spend that same 600k a year on landscaping![]()
You never know what youre situation will afford you in the future. You may come into money and youll have not only an understanding of what your money can get you, but actually have preferences that youve already gained a taste for. Basically, youd be very prepared for the money, albeit superficially.Y’all taught me something new..I’ve never heard of Atherton. The homes there look amazing. I like watching videos of luxury homes knowing damn well I’ll never afford one
